Running PHP4 and PHP5

**Geoff** · May 6th, 2006, 8:38 AM

I am interested in running a couple of scripts that require the use of PHP5, however I am not ready to personally give up PHP4, especially since there are so many other scripts that may not function with PHP5 still.

Anyways, I am aware Surpass is making both available on their Shared, and im just wondering how they intend to make this available, and how I might.

WHM allows you to compile Apache with PHP4 and/or PHP5, im just wondering if its as simple as selecting both?

I want to know about that too

I think that all files with a .php extension will be run as php 4, all with a .php5 extension will be php 5 (Not sure, but I think it was announced here somewhere)

Yeah, but I think that is a special setup on the server, as some other people I've asked said it is very hard to do (apparently they havent tried it but meh)

Ask support possibly.

This is a Dedicated server thread, isnt the owner suppose to contact for updates on their own server?

**DewKnight** · June 9th, 2006, 1:51 AM

Ah.. The different forums.. confusing.. Yes, one would need to contact support (Or do it yourself)

**Geoff** · June 9th, 2006, 6:00 AM

ya, these are dedicated servers i am talking about.

And i have an idea as far as how to do it, and i dont feel like paying someone from support to do it lol... but ive got a fresh server i still have to play with before it goes into a production environment, so ill give it a shot on that first. Ill update this thread when i get around to that.

I think support should od this for free for you if you ask them. It is part of the 100% managed. But if you want to play around your self, more power to you
